'Dancing' star speaks about Cole heartbreak

Strictly Come Dancing star Camilla Dallerup has forgiven her former fiancé Brendan Cole.

The Danish-born dancer was humiliated when Cole started an affair with newsreader Natasha Kaplinsky, his celebrity dance partner for the BBC series. However, two years on, Camilla insists that she is over the heartbreak and prepared to stay friends with Brendan.

"Overnight, I lost the man who was not only my full-time dance partner but my best friend," Camilla told the Sunday Mirror. "We'd been with each other 24/7 for eight years. We'd travelled the world together. I was looking forward to settling down with him, to being his wife, to raising our kids. I thought we'd grow old together. But it wasn't to be."

She added: "Now I'm over it, I can see him as the wonderful person I fell in love with in the first place. We've come through it. That means the world to me. Not to be friends after all the years we spent together would have been really upsetting."
